Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Dust Diseases Dust Diseases The Hon. C. BONAROS Legislative Council Dust Diseases The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:11): Supplementary: off the back of that response, does the minister acknowledge that, without those additional reforms, people suffering from dust diseases will continue to be disadvantaged compared with those who fall within the scope of the Dust Diseases Act? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Dust Diseases The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:11): I thank the honourable member for her question. As I have said, I personally—as does the government—have a great deal of sympathy for some of the submissions that have been made, particularly in relation to that time of your career in which your income is the one that is assessed in terms of not being able to work again because of the dust disease.
